"Nash did not often discuss his comic patterns, but did once explain his formula for the telling use of cliché:?The trick is that it must be somebody else?s cliché and not the author?s own.? Typical is the treatment that Nash gives to the overworked advice,?Hate the sin but love the sinner,? in?Nevertheless,? from Many Long Years Ago."--Poetry Foundation website

"Mr. Nash has chosen from his five earlier collections of verse those that he wanted available for the growing public. He has added 31 poems found only in the volume of selected verse, The Face Is Familiar, Uniform with Good Intentions and I'm a Stranger Here Myself.' Kirkus Reviews
